Effects of stiffness reduction on seismic capacity of buildings

Results obtained by analysis of two typical structures are presented. The value of shear stiffness, or stiffness to bending of structural elements (beams or walls), was varied during this analysis. The following question was answered: why did European Standard EN 1998-1:2004 set the element stiffnes...
